**Are you ready for the Milano–Cortina Winter Olympics? We’re not.** **That’s why we’ve created our very own Ostello Bello "Olympic" Games: a glorious display of questionable athletic skills and high-level nonsense.** While the "other" guys are busy with the official **Milano-Cortina 2026** ceremonies, we’re bringing the real "action" to the streets of Milan. From February 6th, we aren't gathering to break world records; we’re gathering to break the laws of physics. This isn’t about the podium; it’s about the survival of the chillest. Get your "winter" gear ready, because we’re about to prove that being an elite athlete is 10% talent and 90% just showing up for the vibes. **The Incentive:** Every participant gets a **shot**. The "legends" who actually win take home an **Ostello Bello T-shirt or a Drink**. ## The Disciplines: Official "Technical" Standards Every day from **7 PM to 9 PM**, our "athletes" will face a rotating schedule of these elite winter disciplines: ### 1\. Air Hockey: The Wrist\-Flick Battle A high-speed duel where the only thing frozen is your gaze on the puck. * **The Goal:** Smash the plastic disc into the hole. * **Requirement:** Move your hand faster than your brain can process and celebrate every point like you’ve just secured a gold medal. ### 2\. Boxing\-Glove Beer Pong: The Clumsy Champion Challenge We took a classic and made it impossible by adding the "Yeti factor." * **The Twist:** You have to play wearing massive, padded boxing gloves. * **The Challenge:** Gripping a tiny ball with giant hands is the ultimate test of patience. Success here is statistically unlikely and basically a miracle. ### 3\. DIY Curling: The Professional Slide The most serious-looking sport in our program. We’ve replaced expensive stones with pots and ice with felt pads, but the tension is real. * **The Setup:** A "House" (target) taped on the floor and a "Hog Line" for the release. * **The Action:** Launch the pot while your teammates run alongside it with brooms, screaming *"Hurry! Hard!"* just like in the real tournaments. * **The Score:** Closest pot to the center wins. Clean floors are a bonus. ### BONUS DAY: The "Wildcard" Game The discipline is a mystery. Our local legends will choose the challenge. Expect the unexpected: and probably more shots. **AND REPEAT.**

**📺 SUNDAY MATCHDAY** Big screens, loud reactions and opinions nobody asked for. Grab a drink, pick a side (or change it mid-game), and enjoy sports the social way. Ref complaints included. ⋯⋯⋯ Ostello Bello Milano Centrale - Via Lepetit 33, Milano 🎫 Posti limitati. - Ingresso gratuito tramite registrazione Ti ricordiamo che nel corso dell’evento potranno essere effettuate delle riprese di immagini fotografiche e audio-video con diritti di utilizzo ad uso esclusivo del locale. www.ostellobello.com https://www.instagram.com/ostellobello.milanocentrale/

I’ll message you if a spot opens. Final attendance + teams will be shared in the WhatsApp group. ✅ **RSVP only if you can commit**. **Details** * **Court:** Covered + heated * **Arrive:** 10 minutes early so we start on time * **Cost:** €10.50 per person (card ok; cash as backup) **Important (especially if you’re new)** * Join the WhatsApp group AND message **Ellie** to be added before game day (your spot is confirmed + you get updates). * If it fills up, we’ll prioritize **regular/active Volleyball 4All players** (fair for those who show up consistently). * **Be respectful:** arrive on time, rotate when asked, and bring a team-first attitude so everyone gets a solid run. 💛 **About WE NEED + (MORE) PPL** We’re building a community for adults **25–50** who enjoy real, low-pressure social time.
